Well done Rich, there is a cafe just around the corner, and a Wetherspoons about 50 yards away where you can also get breakfast.

I am also booked now.

And there's a flipping model railway in that park!

Maybe I should bring some kegs of my home brew! Actually after several hours on the bike it'll probably explode and kill us all so maybe not!

And now I have booked booked and booked hotels.

I just thought, reading the new chap K1600 post, if I bought a Moto Guzzi V7 and turned up on that I wouldn't be able to keep up!

Not that I'd get rid of the K for that mind you... but still... some bikes are slow. k.

I'm looking forward to it Rae :)

And I've moved on to wanting a super/hyper naked now... this thread is also a log my my ridiculous brain changing its mind every hour.

It's not what you ride it's the way that you ride it. ;)
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

The video I made of last year's edition seems to have generated more traffic than usual between the 22nd and 26th of Jan, generated by youtube searches. Anyone here any idea why ?

No idea.
But pop the link back in here, as an advert/dissuader. And watch the hits rocket. 8)

I watched it once in that period. Maybe I'm an 'influencer'! Or influenza.

Excellent. Watched it all over again, Philippe. Are you coming out to play this year?

Small chance I will, mainly because of other plans.

Moreover, there's now your Brexit : probably long waiting queues at the ferries to be expected (I think I'll at least first have a look at what this results into) ? And as I'm not riding my K1300S any longer, I may feel a little more "outsider" also because of that   :)
